Acer Aspire S3-391-6676 13.3" Ultrabook

Pros: Small and sleek

Cons: Keyboard is too small, simply can't be used. It occupies lessa than half of the laptop's width.

Pros: large screen, lack of a optical drive means it's light, very thin

Cons: power outlet and port placement, usb ports didn't work, drivers missing, functionality low unless never taken off the desk, not usable in bed or on sofa or in lap if anything's hooked up to the usb ports

Other Thoughts: I bought this laptop today after looking at it online. Right out of the box, it was nothing but trouble. The automatic update failed to update the usb ports so that nothing I plugged into them worked. I was on the phone with support for almost two hours trying to figure out that I needed new drivers. And Windows 8??? That is the worst program I have ever seen. After spending the day doing things on it, I'm ready to pull what's left of my hair out.

But the reason I'll be hauling myself down to the store and begging them to take it back and refund my money is that the power and usb ports are on the back of the machine, not on the side like they are for every other laptop I've seen. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but if you plan on using your laptop in bed or snuggled up on the sofa, anywhere that your body might come in contact with the back, forget it. It joggles the usb connections, making the attachment continuously unload and reload. The power cord has a small transformer close to the plug and it addition to the cord getting tangled up underneath the computer, I was constantly having the thing sit down wobbly because I sat it onto the desk and the transformer was under there. Continuous PITA to try and remember to pull the cord out of the way before setting it down on a surface. The port placement is completely impractical. The designers obviously didn't try to actually use the thing in daily life.

Avoid this thing like the plague!
